what's going on with tim mason? he was a bad-ass runner. I think he was too much in love with that fat girl. she made him slow. he left wvu and I never heard from him since. there was just a rumor that he's now working for napa car-parts...

Im not too sure if Tim Mason was really a bad ass runner. I know he left WVU but he never really did anything. He was mediocore at best....I\'m just telling it how it is. But \"the thing about it is\" he does have a thing for fat girls.....they might have done him on for good.
The running scene is H-town is almost extinct, the new crop of young runners are being told by the old school runners (that were great in their time but are now coaching) to be pussies. They don\'t run shit for miles. I have seen these track meets, Clearspring, Williamsport, Hagerstown, they are crap! When the Fox\'s, Baker\'s, Scuffin\'s, and the group that still runs on Sundays left...they may have took the running scene away from H-town. The talent is there, but the motivation isn\'t.
This is from seeing it first hand......
You talk about the running scene on the canal on sundays going downhill in MD but I think it died out a while ago on the WV side. Back in highschool we ran every weekend on the canal but after Danny died it seemed that most of the younger guys perfered running out at Poor House Farm for the long runs. The CO was great for long runs in a group but nothing beat the Farm for long runs when you didnt care about terrain or where you went.
Speaking of the CVAL, who is winning that conference now? When I ran for Martinsburg we blew the other teams away but since I left the area I have heard that Martinsburg took a big plunge in terms of team talent. Any info would be nice.
Hagerstown running is down but not dead.With the towpath & the mountains it is a great place to train. Motivation for
today's highschool runner is a national problem not a local
problem.
The local high school runners, coached by the Old guys
have had recent success. Yes, I know Md State's are not like
Pennsylvania, but:
Mckenzie Fox ( Fox's Daughter ) 2003 Indoor 800 state champ
Hemu Armugan (Coached by Scuffins) 9:50 3200 as freshman
Ashley Lockard (Coached by Baker) 11:20 3200, 2003 xc state champ
Jessica Hanlin(Scuffins & Baker) 11:48 3200, 2003 xc state champ
Rhet Troxell (Taylor Oliver) 1:56 800
Williamsport Girls XC (Oliver) 2002/2003 State Champs
Devin Hewitt (Oliver) 2nd XC States 2003
McKenzie is at Auburn.
Hamster, Craze, and Woshner...what a crew. Western PA is one f***ed up place, ain't it?
Craze is back living in his old neighborhood in Pittsburgh teaching school. Saw him two years ago at Penn Relays where he had a kid run 9:05 in the 3,000 meters while he was teaching/coaching in Long Island.
Hamilton is still coaching at West Allegheny High Shcool, which he has turned into one of the better running schools in the WPIAL (no small task). Still runs road races occassionally and fares well against the local competition.
Throw in old man John Harwick and the above poster was dead on -- Western PA is one f***ed up place, ain't it???
